Manage cash flow, debt facilities, credit control, and working capital
Oversee consolidations (3–4 entities) and statutory compliance
Drive financial analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and performance management
Partner with operations on distribution, supply chain optimisation, and margin improvement
Ensure strong financial governance, controls, and risk management

Qualifications:
- CA(SA) – essential
Experience:
- 10+ years' post-articles experience
- Proven experience in a CFO, Head of Finance, or executive finance role
- Industry exposure to Logistics, Transport, Wholesale, FMCG, or Distribution
